Ivan Pravilov

President, Head Coach of Druzhba'78 Hockey Club & School and Director of coaching program in NESA (New England Sport Academy)

Ivan Pravilov was born in Kharkov, Ukraine on January 22, 1963. He played professional soccer. Later his interests turned to hockey when in 1980 the first indoor hockey arena was built. His proficiency in soccer and hockey led him to coaching the youth in the city of Kharkov. Through his great selection work Druzhba’78 became into being. The youths had not experienced skating and it was very novel to them and within a few years he fashioned an excellent hockey team. His dedication to coaching and his love of sport is reflected by the many notable achievements by team Druzhba’78.

Ivan Pravilov is considered to be one of Europe’s finest power skating coaches. He believes that the talent level of hockey players is directly related to their skating ability. For this reason, Ivan Pravilov’s Unique Hockey School focuses on developing skating power and finesse. By using specialized power-skating drills and dry-land training exercises, Pravilov breaks the vital elements of skating down to a science. His goal is to significantly improve the skating ability of each student.

 

The results of concentrated study and coaching undertaken by Ivan Pravilov over a 30-year span has enabled him to become one of most authoritative persons working with youth hockey players. This recognition has been achieved by successful achievements in hockey tournaments and friendship matches in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Russia and Belarus. Ivan Pravilov is a Head Coach of the National Team of Ukraine (U-18) and (U-20). Many of the students were drafted and now playing in the NHL, Dainius Zubrus–New Jersey Devils and Andrey Zuizin–Chicago Blackhawks. And some students have been accepted at prep schools and colleges. Sarah Parsons and Helen Resor are playing for US Olympic Team.
